2fer: GEITHNER's father-in-law blurts G stepping down after election. Bonus: COLBERT slays DOOCY

I still remember COLBERT's slap at journalists at the Correspondents Dinner, where he said they had their never-realized novel in their bottom drawer instead of doing real journalism. So brilliant. Here he absolutely demolishes that asswipe DOOCY, the weatherman and O'LOOFAH sycophant, down to the last line in the clip.

.... Food critic Albert Sonnenfeld, whose daughter, Carole, is wed to the country’s top money man, stunned strangers at Bar Boulud Thursday night when he claimed President Obama’s nomination of Dartmouth College president Dr. Jim Yong Kim to head the World Bank was part of a plan to allow Geithner to take over the Ivy League school’s top post, reports The Post’s Jeane MacIntosh. ....

His claims came after Kim got the World Bank job ahead of Nigerian finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, believed by some to be the more qualified candidate.

Sonnenfeld quickly turned the chat to Geithner. “My daughter is, of course, married to Tim Geithner,’ and followed with, ‘He’s stepping down at the end of the year, after the election,” recounted the diner.

Sonnenfeld also let slip that Carole Geithner “can’t wait to get out” of DC because “she has to hold her nose and entertain all these Republicans.” Sonnenfeld added, according to the witness, “Some of them she actually liked, like Jim Bunning from Kentucky. But now he’s gone. Can you imagine having to entertain John Boehner and his wife, with his fake tan?” ....

[font size=5]Watch Stephen Colbert’s Sharp Takedown of Fox News’ Steve Doocy[/font]

It isn't necessarily news that Fox News' Steve Doocy has taken a quote from President Obama completely out of context but a recent example caught the eye and ire of Stephen Colbert. On tonight's Colbert Report, Colbert took Doocy to task for putting words in the President's mouth and reduced his journalistic integrity to rubble.
